How Norma Uses CBT and Motivational Interviewing Online
Norma draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include simple exercises and clear steps to try between meetings, which can help with anxiety, panic, mood concerns, and sleep or eating disruptions.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change. That approach focuses on listening, building motivation, and planning small, achievable steps for issues like addiction, impulsivity, or lifestyle shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Norma works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences. She adjusts pacing and homework so the work fits the client's current needs.
